Mad Men by Dyna Moe
MAD MEN: THE ILLUSTRATED WORLD is an engaging celebration of the life and times of the 'mad men' of Madison Avenue in the early 1960s. This book is by turns funny, kitschy, sophisticated and wry, and this full colour miscelleny is both a memento and a stand-alone salute to the time of slim suits, prosperity, cocktails, and the golden age of advertising. With chapters on the office, the home, fashion and beauty, mainstream and counterculture, travel and rainy day activities, this all-encompassing anthology is the only companion a fan will ever need. The only official MAD MEN publication, this tie-in to the wildly popular and cult television series captures the spirit of the era as it might be imagined on one of Sal Ramano's storyboards.
Mad Men: The Illustrated World takes that nostalgia and plays with it, acknowledging the show's vision even as it builds something new.. a witty amalgamation of retro drawings, background information and knowing takes on the show's period feel. .. Best of all, however, are Dyna Moe's drawings themselves ... the illustrator's quirky humour shines through. * INDEPENDENT *
